done.
Indianapolis Journal: Gov. Gray's
record as soldier, and his record as
Know-nothing and Republican, ought
to make HIM solid with the Democracy
Cleveland and Gray is the Democratic
ticket for 1888.
Philadelphia Press: Interstate Com.
missioner Morrison expects great things
in the way of tariff smashing at the COM
ing session. The fact is, however, that
Mr.. Morrison is the man to whom "hope

i Cleveland Leader: The Democratic
party will never consent to any revenue
measure that would deprive so many
i hcolers of meat and drink. They will
never abandon one of their best supplied
provision trains if they can help it.
New York Tribune: Thirty years ago
Mr.. Buchanan sent his party to defeat
for generation by using his patronage
as Southern free-trade leaders demand
ed. Some of the same Southern men
are Mr.. Cleveland's most trusted advis-
ers.

ties can contract debts, or if gratitude is
an element of party policy, the Democ-

Peoria Transcript: The Springfield
Register says the "mugwumps have win
tered and summered with President
Cleveland" and will not desert him
now. We hope not. We have strong
hopes that they may fall with him. Do
you autumnble ?
st. Louis Globe Democrat: For Presi-
dent in 1888. John Sherman, of Ohio;
for Vice-President, George w. Curtis, of
New YORK. Platform: The prodlgal's
return under modified conditions calls
liver and bacon for the Mugs; veal cut
lets for Republicans only.
Kansas City Times: The prediction is
made that the chief object of both par
ties in the coming session of Congress
will be to prevent the other side from
doing anything. But should such be the
case let it not be forgotten that the vot-
ers of this country are not fools. They
will locate the responsibility.
Springfield (Ill.) Register: The Sum
day newspaper is here to stay-it is
abundantly able to hold its own, and the
pulpit, even, can not prevail against it.
The request of the Chicago pastors is
piece of impertinence. They ask the
publishers to concede the wrongfulness
of their conduct in publishing Sunday
papers by disseminating them.
Boston Herald (Ind.): When Mr..
Eaton pronounces the Cabinet formed
by Mr.. Cleveland to be las able, per-
haps, as any in this generation, he seems
to us to forget the Cabinet of President
Hayes, with VIM. M. Evarts, John Sher-
man and Carl SEIZURE in its membership.
The Presidents Cabinet has it's good
features, but as whole it is not one of
the strong points in his administration.
Philadelphia Times: The year before
a National election is good one for both
parties to send the iobbers to the rear.
Cleveland Leader: The veto mill will
be coming out of its summer quarters in
the White House within few weeks.

dent In 1888, George w. Childs, of Penn
sylvania; for Vice-President, Preston B.
Plumb, of Kansas.
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin: All
present signs indicate that the conven-
tons of 1888 of both chief parties will
again be held in Chicago.
New York Times: The Democrats oc-
cupy now much the position the Repub-
licars held before 1884. They will have
the lead if they do nothing to lose it.
Detroit NeaCs: The President shrinks
from naming the articles that must be
sacrificed. His party in Congress is not
likely to shoulder what he will not.
Omaha Republican: Under such con-
sentative and clear-headed, but agrees
i've leaders as General Henderson, Ne
braska will maintain its position at the
head of the column of Republican
States.
Boston Traveller: The country will
sometime learn that the luxury of
Democratic House, in which it sees fit to
indulge itself, is costly one, and when
this lesson is we'll learned it will forego
such indulgence. Till then the country
can but hope for the best.
indianapolis Journal: Turpie in the
Senate would be an object lesson for the
inspiration of Republicans. Perhaps,
after all, the Senate could not IN any
way more directly and powerfully con-
tribute toward making Indiana Republic
can next year than by admitting Turpie.
New York Tribune: There is reac-
ton against Prohibition in Georgia,
North Carolina, Iowa, and other States,
in some of which it exists to greater or
less by virtue of local option, and in 9TH
ers under a general law. On the whole,
the Prohibitionists have lost ground dur
ing the past year.
Detroit Tribune: Free trade within
our own National limits can not be logi-
cally placed on any such basis as the
Democrat suggests with reference to
freedom OF exchange with foreign coun-
tries. The difference is as wide as the
difference between keeping our money
at home and sending it abroad.
Cincinnati TSmes-Sfar. The solution
the President proposes is one which will
draw sharp line in the next National
contest, and which will split wide open
the old "Solid South" The New South
does not want any free trade fummery
with which to garnish her new and Wig
orous manufacturing industries.
